Birthday Invitations

I blogged awhile back about the kids party at the Red Barn Farm, which was amazing! Well as I was ordering pictures of the last 6 months of my kids lives, I ran across the invitations from the party, and decided to share! I went to Target bought a box of these cute rustic uni-sex cards and designed my own invitations for a whooping $5.99! I am proud of these, can you tell?

Munson: Teaser

More to come of this family, but since she is my sister she gets moved to the back of the line, there are advantages and disadvantages to being related to me, but until I have more downtime here is a teaser of my favorite and only sister and her gorgeous kids who so dearly dislike me :)

P.S. My sister's kids are not crazy about me especially as babies I hold them they scream, well my sister told me that I am not good with kids. That only happens to be about 75% of my job photographing kids, well I have come to realize that all kids love me....except hers! You win some you lose some :)

She is so sweet and adorable, and her eyes are gorgeous! Well she is sweet and adorable when her mom is holding her!

LOVE it!






Some of the cousins going down to play at the park and eat some ice cream!P.S. Excuse the undies :)

5 Year Anniversary

5 years ago today I married my everything! He is the most selfless, caring husband I have ever meet. He is always trying to make me happy (and I assure you that is not an easy task)! He gets up for work every morning kisses me goodbye and heads off while me and kids snooze in since we were up till midnight! But he never complains! He is always affectionate and tells me I am beautiful even though most days I feel the opposite. He can fix anything and everything and though sometimes he may seem a little grumpy to do my honey do list, he grumbles to himself all the way through it! He is wild about his rugrats, and is a pretty phenomenal daddy!

Happy Anniversary to my one and only, no matter what it takes I guarantee we will be curled up together 5o years from now (hopefully not watching Zombieland but snuggling none the less!) Pictures make every post better...

Shane trying to get through his vows, I have quite the sensitive man! I think everyone there that day can recall our vows, seriously sweetest moment ever!

This little lady on his hip looks so much like Ella! It is my not so little niece Hailey but holy cow does my lady resemble her!

Happy Birthday to my Babies!

Ella and Jaxon's birthdays are a little over a month a part. This year I scheduled Ella's birthday on mother's day without knowing on top of that my mom, and Shane's aunt were out of town. So I cancelled it and doubled up putting Jaxon and Ella's both at the Red Barn Farm Memorial Day weekend. Jax was thrilled to share his birthday party with his sister, all he cared about was being able to visit his favorite place on earth! Just wanted to share a quick pic of them enjoying their birthday cakes, now back to editing Ana & Cole!

Favorite part of his birthday is where everyone sings Happy Birthday to him!

My thumbsucker, she was in heaven sucking the cake off her fingers! P.S. Ellie's eyes are truly that gorgeous!

Jax & Ash

While going through Ella's 1 year photos I stumbled upon these photos of the boys, that I ment to share Easter day but don't think I ever did! I took the first one of them on Easter when Jax was about 9 months and the other one this Easter. When I took the photo of them my mind jumped back to the one when they were little babies. I went on a hunt threw old photos and found it, too cute! My personal photos are a mess I am surprised I know where anything is but that is one of my goals for 2010 to get my own photos organized! Anyway here are the two handsome devils!

Before & After Davis House

The last month has been spent revamping the house with a new ryegrass green color, a little compatible cream trim, & new windows! We are still not completely done, the railing, front door, and light pole still need a paint job and a little painting of the window trim indoors but overall it feels like a new house and I love the change. Here is a quick before and after I have been wanting to share!

Ella : Happy 1st Birthday

My little lady turned 1 today, oh I love her and her scrunchy nose smile! I seriously enjoyed every minute of the last year trying to tackle two kids and a business. Ella is such an angel, and I always told Shane I would go until I got a bad kid, but I think he is cutting me off. He says he does not want to chance it, we have two wonderfully healthy kiddos. Jax and Ella are becoming the best of friends and she thinks the world of her brother any silly gesture and Ella laughs uncontrollably! She is such a happy girl and so full of energy! Well here is a recap of the last 12 months of my beautiful little girl. I have more pics to Blog from last weekend, but first the most adorable white haired, blue-eyed baby I know :)
Crazy to think that 1 year today I was in a hospital bed holding my little lady for the 1st time!

11 months, so cute!


1 year old Happy Birthday Ella, Ella Clare, L-M-N-O-Peea, Bearclaw, Clare Bear, Ellie! I love you!

Ellie : 9 months

Here is my elegant elephant! I swear she does something new everyday, although she still is not saying 'mama' she just smiles at me and says 'dada'. I love this age, seriously my favorite age to photograph once they get older then this they are to hard to keep up with and you have to work so much harder for a smile! This was just a quick little shoot I did this morning while Jax was still snoozing, the sun was coming up for once through the front windows and was perfect!

Her two bottom teeth are finally coming in I love that you can see them in every photo!





My fave photo EVER!

Ella & Jax

We actually got out of the house one day this last week while the temperatures got into the 40s! Fresh Air finally, only to spend the rest of the decent weekend stuck inside as the stomach flu invaded our house! It was a terrible weekend but I am thinking that no matter what this one can not be worse, maybe for Shane as he jumps into Longview Lake to raise money for the Special Olympics! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, here are my munchkins who will probably be invading my BLOG till things warm up a bit!
